Abstract
The babA2 and cagA genes were investigated in 208 Brazilian Helicobacter pylori strains. A strong association between babA2 and duodenal ulcer or gastric carcinoma was observed, even after adjusting for confounding factors, such as age, gender, and cagA status. cagA-positive strains were also independently associated with H. pylori-related diseases.Keywords
